We all need to get from point A to point B, but what if you could make doing so a treat rather than a chore? One sure way to turn your commute or errand into a pleasurable experience is to get there in a comfortable and pleasurable luxury car. For those willing and able to pay for luxurious motoring, numerous car manufacturers offer a plethora of enticing options.
Sometimes you have to do a little damage in order to create positive results. Such is the case with non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, particularly those that aim various forms of energy beneath the surface of the skin.
There's lots of beauty advice out there, from magazines and advertisements to recommendations from friends. But what do the experts really do? Surely, those with the know-how have top-notch beauty and skin-care regimens. We asked two local aestheticians to share their personal beauty routines.
If you want to look a bit younger and fresher, a relaxing facial may be all you need to help restore smooth skin and a healthy, radiant glow.
When St. Louisan Julie Longyear founded Blissoma, her holistic skincare and apothecary company, 10 years ago, she was met with some resistance for her all-natural approach. "People asked, Why would I want to do that?" she recalls. But these days, natural skincare is more than just a fringe movement, and the job of educating the public on its benefits has gotten a lot easier. We recently caught up with Longyear to discuss the evolution in the industry.
We know that exposure to UV rays damages skin, but in our foolish youth, we may have worshipped the sun. Now we're seeing the consequences: wrinkles, loss of elasticity and those nasty brown spots that are no longer considered cute little freckles.
According to the late naturalist John Muir, "In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks." And that's good, as long as you only receive inspiration—not tick bites.
As you relax by the pool, you don't want to worry about the damage you may be causing your skin. Exposure to UV rays results in wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and, potentially, skin cancer. That's why it's so important to understand your options for summer skin protection.
Let's face it: Sun protection should be on everyone's priority list this summer—especially when it comes to the face. Never leave home without it!
In our never-ending quest to give you the latest in skin care tips and treatments, LN recently caught up with Kathleen Fuller, spa director at the Four Seasons, St. Louis. Fuller took a circuitous route to her current profession, starting out as a store manager for Walmart before founding her own cosmetics studio, which she operated for 14 years. She then moved to the field of hotel spas, and joined the Four Seasons two years ago. Fuller says her highest goal is to provide a calm experience that promotes the wellness of their spa guests. It must be working: Four Seasons' spa was voted the Best Spa in this year's LN Platinum List!
Women aren't the only ones whose skin needs some TLC as we head into warmer months. Men, too, need to care for and protect their skin.
Exfoliation is one of the most important steps in a good skin-care regimen. Removing the outermost layer of dead cells to reveal the more glowing complexion beneath helps maintain a youthful appearance and keep the skin healthy.
Researchers have spent decades trying to unravel cancer's causes. While the search has yielded as many questions as answers, the role of nutrition is one area that scientists are considering in light of newer data.
When it comes to cancer, many cases are mysteries. It's very difficult—even impossible—to pinpoint what leads to a malignancy. Yet there are a few cancers that clearly are linked to specific causes. Smoking contributes to lung cancer, sun damage contributes to skin cancer, and—in a stunning 99 percent of cases—human papillomavirus (HPV) is present in cervical cancer cases.
No matter how much we fight it, aging changes the skin. We no longer produce copious amounts of natural oils to keep things smooth; and decades of sun damage, from those tans that looked so good when we were in our 20s and 30s, takes its toll as brown spots and wrinkles become more prominent.
With the new year upon us, it's a good time to resolve to take better care of your skin, according to Dr. Gregory Branham and Dr. John Chi of the Washington University Facial Plastic Surgery Center.
A younger-looking face may be a matter of seeing the light. Whether you call it photo rejuvenation, a photo facial, photo biomodulation or low-level laser light therapy, delivering various wavelengths of light energy to the skin can result in a more even tone, reduced discoloration, less visible pores and a more youthful glow.
Who doesn't need a hero when it comes to saving your skin? MYBODY's myHERO line comes with Ultra Rich Anti-Aging Growth Factor Cream ($145), which uses probiotic-derived bioactives and growth-factor peptides to rescue and restore damaged and dehydrated skin. Tag-team it with the Anti-Aging Growth Factor Serum ($225) to help increase firmness and improve skin tone and moisture. lovemybody.com.
Alpine Rose Botanical Technology is just one of the ways protective antioxidants is delivered to the skin in VBEAUTÉ's anti-aging line: Day Job Sun Protection Crème ($48) shields the skin from damaging UV rays; Lite Up Intense Brightening Agent ($45) is an oil-free satiny serum that brightens, helps clear blemishes and reduces inflammation; and Lip Spread ($19) delivers lightweight, silky smooth moisture tinted to match your skin tone. Available at Soft Surroundings.
During the summer, when we are all complaining about the hot, humid Midwestern weather, we yearn for cooler, drier air. Well, welcome to winter! Now the air is so dry it crackles, and our skin responds in kind.
This time of year, our homes are adorned with holiday lighting, poinsettia plants and mistletoe, as well as lots of goodies like brownies and cookies, and perhaps a Christmas tree that umbrellas a score of presents of all sizes and shapes. So, what's to worry about?
Saint Louis University is participating in a multi-center study that will test a combination of two medications for children with early-stage hepatitis B.
We can't control our age or genetics, but women can do plenty to control their risk of cardiovascular disease, and that's important considering that heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death for men and women alike. A heart-healthy diet is among the most influential factors in reducing risk.
What could be more relaxing, indulgent and beneficial than a day at the spa? We talked with Kim Palmier of The Face Company about ways to detoxify, refresh and renew.
"You know when you pull your hair back in a ponytail, and everything just looks a little better? That's what I was after. Nothing severe, just a slightly younger, more lifted look," says a 59-year-old Webster Groves woman. Not wanting to undergo surgery, she turned to Dr. Kenneth Rotskoff at the Ultherapy Center of St. Louis.

Mrs.Gaye Shreve – Media Secretary I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, but moved to Dearborn 36 years ago when I married my husband, Mark, who attended Dearborn schools K-12. We have 3 adult daughters. I enjoy helping students in the library to find books that they want to read, especially since I never learned to enjoy reading until I was in my 20s, and I hope to help them to learn to love reading. I love to read now, but wonder how my life might have been different if only I'd learned to enjoy reading when I was in elementary school. I love reading both adult books and children's books, and even enjoy making repairs to worn books and putting books back on the library shelves. Besides reading, my hobbies include playing guitar and singing, rollerblading, and swimming. |

the painful thing is its impossible to argue wtih anything he wrote. It's a nice program. A good program. They win more than they lose. They go to bowl games. From what we know, they do it fairly. And cleanly. They seem to have good kids, and their coach seems like a good man. Yep, there's a whole lot to like about the University of Florida football program. Like I said, it's a good program. Know what it isn't? An elite program. Not at this moment. No longer is Florida up there with the likes of Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State. Or even LSU and Stanford. When it comes to college football, you have elite teams and then a few teams hovering near the top. Keep going if you hope to find Florida on that list. It's now in that kinda-good category with programs such as Wisconsin, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Programs in that category win a big game every now and again, and maybe have a cup of coffee in the Top 10. But mostly they just beat mediocre teams and lose to really good teams. As far as national championships, forget it. Florida isn't the best team in the SEC anymore. Not even close................ http://www.tampabay.com/sports/coll...-from-ranks-of-college-football-elite/2147588
This is what scares me about our current state of football. As we continue to struggle and the losses pile up, we lose ground to our in state rivals UM and FSU as they pass us. That trickles down to loss of recruits and revenue. That's why if this thing is going to be corrected by our coaching staff, it needs to happen ASAP or the farther we fall.
*yawn* Ohio State - what have they won lately?? Dirty program, lousy conference. We played in a BCS game LAST year!
We're definitely not elite now, but what makes a team like Ohio State elite? Ohio State hasn't played a top 10 team in two years. Florida is 4-2 against top 10 teams the last two years.
It's always cyclical. Anybody that thought we would be a top 10 team every year until the end of time wasn't thinking rationally. Bama won't, LSU won't, oregon and Stanford most certainly won't. Stanford just lost to a team worse than either of our losses. And just like fsu and um didn't stay down for long, we will be back in the top 10 more often than not sooner than later
lol we were extremely fortunate to play in a BCS gm last year with some of those close games, including that Lousiana Lafayette game. And then we got dominated by Louisville. Think we better get used to it in the meantime
I think word choice matters here. We're clearly not an elite "team." That's different than not being an elite "program." The latter word encompasses more than just the quality of the team on the field at a given moment. The fundamentals that make UF such a strong program are still there, though one can squint and see how they made start to degrade if things don't turn around soon. Facilities are still excellent, the athletic program is still minting money, the athletic department is still one of the best in the country and we're still located smack dab in the middle of some of the richest recruiting grounds in the country. Can those advantages be squandered? Sure. But three bad years in four doesn't get you nearly to that point.
2011 was an inherited CF. He doesn't deserve blame for that. The coaching job Champ did last year is one of the best in CFB history, IMO. 4-1 against top 10 teams, with a piecemeal mostly injured OL, first year QB and no productive wide receivers.
This. I'm not gong to indulge. If Florida wasn't an elite school for football we wouldn't be recruiting top classes year after year. Lazy journalism making one link and selling it as a bonafide situation...

Members of the Sierra Club's Saguaro Group do more than appreciate the postcard-perfect scenery in Arizona. They educate themselves about it.
Regular outings in pristine outdoor areas carry a lot of weight for these nature lovers.
"It's just not simply to walk around," said group chairman Louis Lantz, who lives north of Scottsdale in the Tonto Hills area. "It's to learn about the environment and what issues are going in that particular area."
The Sierra Club's Grand Canyon Chapter involves thousands of residents statewide through six groups. The relatively new Saguaro Group focuses on folks north of Bell Road.
Lantz met Scottsdale resident Bev Full during a Utah rafting trip, where he first learned about the Sierra Club's environmental goals. The two eventually helped form the Saguaro Group, and now seek members from north Scottsdale.
"We want to cultivate leaders in this area that will keep the ball rolling," said Full, the group's secretary.
Some members work on trail building, while other mobilized activists explore political points on measures the group supports.
The group favors passing Cave Creek's general plan and annexing land east of 24th Street for preservation.
It opposes a Phoenix water bottling company the group contends is putting a strain on Seven Springs during times of drought.
"It's a big issue, but I don't know if we can do anything about it," Full said.
The next outing, a moderate hike at the Seven Springs Waterfall Trail, will be April 16. The group meets at 7 p.m. the third Wednesday of the month at Harris Bank, Carefree Highway and Scottsdale Road.
To learn more, visit
www.arizona.sierraclub.org/saguaro or call (480) 488-4581.

Hello everyone, I was at my local gun store yesterday checking to see if my Kimber Solo had come in yet(no by the way) when I just started looking around and saw that the S&W Sigma's were on sale for $299 new in case so I figured what the hell. Did I get a good deal or is this a crap gun? I have not fired it yet but will try tomorrow. Opinions anyone? Thanks for your help everyone, Ed

Sigma's are good, reliable guns. I used to have one. The only gripe you ever really hear about them is the trigger pull is hard, but it never bothered me.
I'm sure Shihan will be along soon. He owns "The World's Greatest Sigma". He'll tell you all about Sigma's.
I have one (.40 S&W) in the safe that the niece loves to shoot. She loves the thing. Her weight is about 95lbs (23 years old) and has no problem with the trigger pull. I let her try others, but she keeps going back to the Sigma.

I have not owned or shot one. That being said, they seem to be decent pistols. They are inexpensive and as far as I know, dependable. The rap about the trigger is just one of those things. If I needed an inexpensive pistol and the Sigma was what I could afford, I would be perfectly fine with it. Don't let gun snobs put you off. As long as the pistol is reliable, all the rest is up to the shooter.
As the owner of "The World's Greatest Sigma", my reply would be a little biased. There is nothing wrong with a Sigma, just as good as a Glock with a better grip. At half the cost If you have experience with a Double Action revolver then the trigger won't be an issue. That is the usual complaint. Take it to the range fire a couple Mags, to get a feel for the trigger, then do some shooting once you have a good idea about the pull. Give us a range report. I think you will be happy with it.
I had a Sigma in .40 and I hated that gun. It would easily win the title of "Shortest Owned Pistol", except I did buy a gun from a guy standing in line at a gun show and sold it to another guy after I got inside the show, so technically it's the "2nd Shortest Owned Pistol". I didn't have any qualms with reliability. It feed and functioned perfectly. But that damn trigger was horrible. I've shot a lot of DA revolvers as well and that was absolutely nothing for preparation. With a DA revolver, I can feel everything that is happening through the trigger. With the Sigma, all I could feel was a washboard. It's literally like there were washboard bumps completely through the trigger pull. I wasn't going to waste $200 worth of ammo in an attempt to break-in a $250 gun. I would recommend to consider it if you're on a very tight budget. But if you've got a little wiggle room or you're not in desperate need of a gun, I would say save your pennies for a little longer and hold out for something else. From what I see on other forums, Sigmas are either love 'em or hate 'em and I'm in the latter category.
Buy two High Points for the same price as one Sigma. Then you will have two door stops.
I have had an early Sigma 40C for about 15 years. VERY accurate, dependable and "fits" my hand. The trigger is acceptable. I have a later Sigma 9V. The trigger is a little less acceptable but still tolerable. WTS, I recently handled a newer Sigma 40VE and found the trigger to be absolutely atrocious. About 12 lbs. THAT is where the Sigma reputation comes from. There are some tricks to slick them up a bit, but I have not tried my magic on a VE model, yet.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
The sigma's are so much like Glocks S&W had to pay royalty's to Glock for patent infringements. Someone needs to make a trigger kit for Sigma's like they do for Glocks.

Andrew Maguire (whistleblower)
Andrew Maguire is an independent bullion trader and a whistleblower. He alleged to United States regulators that fraud had been committed, and that prices in the international gold and silver markets had been manipulated. Maguire and his wife were allegedly injured in a hit-and-run accident a day after he was identified as the source of the allegations. Since that time, Maguire has claimed that he has evidence that can prove his allegations, and eventually collaborated on an article with journalist William D. Cohan which has yet to be published. Cohan has stated that Maguire himself has inhibited the publication of the article for mysterious reasons.
Because no regulatory or legal action has ever been taken as a result of information obtained from Maguire, no articles have been published detailing the evidence that Maguire has claimed to possess, and because there is a conspicuous lack of evidence that the alleged hit-and-run ever occurred, his status as a whistleblower is subject to debate.
Andrew Maguire has 40 years of experience as a trader. On March 29, 2010, he was interviewed on the radio with Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) board member Adrian Douglas.[1] He went public in April 2010 with assertions of market manipulation by JPMorgan Chase and HSBC of the gold and silver markets,[2] prompting a number of lawsuits,[3] including a class action lawsuit.[4] Maguire said "JPMorgan acts as an agent for the Federal Reserve; they act to halt the rise of gold and silver against the US dollar. JPMorgan is insulated from potential losses (on their short positions) by the Fed and/or the U.S. taxpayer." "No one at JPMorgan is familiar with Andrew Maguire," said Brian Marchiony, a JPMorgan spokesman. HSBC declined to comment.[2] Maguire was not a former Goldman Sachs trader as has often been reported although he did work briefly for J Aron & Co. which was acquired by Goldman Sachs in 1981.[2][3][5]
Market Manipulation[edit]
In an interview with CBC aired in April 2013 Andrew Maguire described how mysterious traders, allegedly working for bullion banks JPMorgan and to a lesser extent HSBC, waited for most of the major markets from Shanghai to London to be closed then concentrated their dealing on COMEX. He explained how traders were trading virtual or electronic silver anonymously using algorithmic trading systems "moving in and out of the futures markets in the blink of an eye. Four hundred contracts a second, each contract represents 5,000 troy ounces of silver." Maguire described a sudden and massive wave of selling of up to 45,000 contracts which drove the price of silver down. "Investors big and small try to cut their losses and sell as the price drops." People who had invested heavily lost everything. Then the mysterious seller just as suddenly started buying the electronic silver again. The price of silver soared as did profits for the seller. 45,000 contracts with a profit of $80,000 per contract totaled $3,600,000,000 for the mystery seller.[6]
According to Maguire, the precious metals markets trade "pretty much in tandem", but because the silver market is so much smaller, it is harder to disguise one's activities and therefore easier to figure out who is behind a manipulative event.[7] After Bear Stearns and their short silver positions were acquired by JPMorgan, manipulative events in the silver market became more frequent. Maguire decided to inform the CFTC. He contacted commissioner Bart Chilton, who had Eliud Ramirez, a senior investigator from the CFTC's enforcement division, get in touch with Maguire.[7][8] Maguire explained the manipulations in great detail, both over the phone in an hour-long interview and afterward, in a series of e-mails with screen shots.[7]
Maguire then predicted a manipulative event in the silver market and gave detailed information in an e-mail to the CFTC about what to expect, sending it on February 3, 2010, two days prior to the event. The event transpired exactly as Maguire predicted.[9][10] While the event was taking place, Maguire sent e-mails in real time, pointing out certain details because the CFTC enforcement seemed not to know what to look for or how to interpret the data.[7]
GATA chairman Bill Murphy gave a detailed account of Maguire's allegations to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stating how "JP Morgan Chase signals to the market its intention to take down the precious metals. Traders recognize these signals and make money shorting the metals alongside JPMorgan. [He] explained how there are routine market manipulations at the time of option expiry, non-farm payroll data releases, and COMEX contract rollover, as well as the ad hoc events."[11]
In September 2014, it was revealed that business journalist William D. Cohen had collaborated with Maguire to write an article detailing Maguire's account of the alleged fraud.[12] The article was not accepted for publication at several mainstream media outlets, and Cohan proposed publication of the article at alternative financial news outlet Zero Hedge. Cohan has stated that at some point in this process, Maguire decided that he no longer wished for the article to be published and demanded that Cohan remove various details from the article, including the names of regulatory agencies that Maguire had approached and quotes from important sources.[13] Shortly after, Cohan was quoted as saying that Maguire's efforts to hinder the publication of the article had "reached the point of ridiculousness".[14]
Alleged Hit-and-run[edit]
Maguire and his wife were allegedly injured in London in a hit-and-run accident on March 26, 2010,[15] the day after Maguire's name came to light during a CFTC hearing on limiting gold and silver positions held by large market participants in order to prevent manipulation.[16][17] The driver of the other vehicle was allegedly apprehended after a police chase, both on the ground and from the air in helicopters, but his name has not been released.[17] Maguire said, "We got hit in the side at full acceleration and tried to corral the cars in a gas station, including the guy who hit us with a commercial vehicle." The assailant allegedly then sped away, hitting at least two more cars.[17]
Despite the dramatic nature of this account, there appear to be no original sources in the news media reporting on the incident. It was initially described in a post to the website of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee,[18] an organization with whom Maguire is affiliated. This was followed by two opinion articles in the US press which appear to be based on the GATA account and which cite no other sources.[15][17] Of particular note is that there are no source articles substantiating the event anywhere in the news media of the United Kingdom, where the incident is alleged to have occurred. This has led to speculation that Maguire himself fabricated or exaggerated the incident in order to lend credibility to his status as a whistleblower.
Ongoing criminal investigation[edit]
The United States Department of Justice's Antitrust Division and the CFTC are conducting civil and criminal probes steming from a New York Post article concerning Maguire's allegations.[19] Following publication of the article, JPMorgan released a statement that they are not under investigation by the Department of Justice or the CFTC.[19] The CFTC has interviewed 32 people and reviewed 40,000 documents, but as of May 2011, no action has been taken.[15] On February 24, 2011, in less than an hour, the price of silver fell $1.50 per ounce before recovering.[15] Another London-based trader, Richard Guthrie, wrote to Chilton to complain about the event, asking "How many investors lost money and positions to the financial benefit of an elite few?"[15] Chilton believes violations of the law have taken place and wants to see prosecutions move forward,[15] but the five-member commission has yet to act.

Consistent Estimation Of Global VAR Models
Free registration required
Executive Summary
In this paper, the author proposes an Instrumental Variable (IV) estimation procedure to estimate Global VAR (GVAR) models and shows that it leads to consistent and asymptotically normal estimates of the parameters. The author also provides computationally simple conditions that guarantee that the GVAR model is stable. Vector AutoRegressions (VAR) have become a useful part of the toolbox of empirical economists. VARs are used for both model estimation and evaluation, as well as for a-theoretical data analysis. In practical applications in macroeconomics, VAR models are often estimated using data for a particular cross-sectional unit (typically a country), ignoring any possible international linkages.

An Underused Resource In Washington: Forest Biomass
Renewable energy is growing on trees in Washington, and right now, much of it is going up in smoke.
That's the word from Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, who has released the results of a study on forest biomass. Goldmark says industry is currently using only about a third of the woody biomass that could be sustainably harvested and then converted into liquid fuel or heat for electricity generation.
"This study demonstrates that there is ample supply of forest biomass to support expansion of Washington's bio-energy sector," Goldmark says. "This important sector can create needed green jobs, contribute to the state's renewable energy portfolio and provide new revenue for education and counties."
Goldmark says market use of biomass could more than double without any impacts to forest sustainability.
Currently, it is mostly burned in the slash piles that are a bi-product of logging.
But mills could save hundreds of gallons of oil by burning the unused biomass instead.
There's also potential for using it as a feedstock for sustainable jet fuel.
The study describes supply regions for potential and existing biomass facilities, statewide.

Have a great Saturday!!! RangerChic 12-20-2008, 02:32 PM Hey all, I'm not doing so well today, aka I'm depressed. Hopefully, I can somehow get my mind off of the bad with a workout or something. Won't make the financial problems go away, but with Christmas around the corner, I need to somehow feel jolly. Hope the rest of you are having a better Saturday than I have so far. LBH 12-20-2008, 09:09 PM Here I am! :lol: I got busy, had to sand a little, shower and get dressed for a playdate! :lol: It was our first and it went great! :) Have kid hanging on my back, gotta go. :rolleyes: lppennington 12-20-2008, 09:58 PM HO, HO, HO ~ I will be so glad when I don't have to hear Michael Jackson singing "I Saw Mamma Kissing Santa Clause". If I never hear it again it will be too soon. (That is one song that drives me absolutely crazy and its on musack every hour.) Today was a good day, it didn't get busy until about 10 or 10:30 so I eased into my day. It was a good steady, with spurts of insane. Hopefully the day went well for the evening crew. We had a bake sale at work, which doesn't help and mom and I frosted sugar cookies after dinner tonight. (Of course you have to try one) Not feeling productive on the diet front, so I have to be better tomorrow. I only have one more present to wrap and I will be done. I don't think that it will be done tonight, but maybe tomorrow, or I might just buy a bag. (lol) Lisa RangerChic 12-20-2008, 10:54 PM Felt a lot better this evening after I worked out at the gym. Need to get myself used to the elliptical because I couldn't stand it more than a couple minutes, my knees were killing me. Going to try again on Monday when I go back. angiemo3 12-21-2008, 12:21 AM Hello people, I am kinda new and though I would find a few places to post. My name is Angie and I need to lose 110 pounds. I have triplets + 1 so i am busy and i often do not take time to eat right. This is the last time I am starting again. I hope to meet some great people here and get alot of inspiration from you all. teahoney 12-21-2008, 09:30 AM I have been checking out new places to post on the site as well. The more support the better. I'm actually 29 but with my 30th birthday only four months away, I decided to check this group out. My name is Tracey and I'm a single mom to a 5 year old little girl named Mikayla. I finally weighed myself after months of refusing to get on a scale and I'm at 300 which sadly isn't my highest weight but is still too damn high. Angie, bless your heart for having triplets plus one. How old are they? I hope to get to know all of you ladies. LBH 12-21-2008, 10:10 AM Mornin' All! :coffee2: Tracey, :welcome2: Welcome to 30 Something's! Is Mikayla in Kindy? A few of us have kids that started Kindy this year. Hopefully finally stepping on the scale will give you the motivation you need. We can do this! Angie, :welcome2: Welcome to 30 Something's to you too! Wow, God bless you with triplets plus 1!! :yikes: Lots of motivation here! It's snowing again. We've got about 1.5" of new snow this AM. It's just switched over the sleet here though. I'll be happy if this is the last snow of the season! :lol: OK, maybe a dusting on Christmas AM, just for effect, but that's it! I need to go shopping today, so I'm hoping it stops soon, so I can get out later. The boys are going to the Giants/Panthers game later. I was gonna go, but decided I was a wuss and would complain about the cold, so my brother and nephew are going with DH & DS1. :lol: Have a great day all! teahoney 12-21-2008, 11:07 AM Yes. She is in kindy. She loves it so I'm hoping she doesn't lose her love of school. She already isn't too fond of the homework, and who can blame her? There was definitely no homework many moons ago when I was in kindy. KarenK 12-21-2008, 11:51 AM Good morning chicks. Just a quickie this AM. I'm waiting for some friends, we are supposed to have a book club meeting. It's up in north Jersey which got slammed with the snow, so I hope it's still going on. No one called to say any different. I'm all dressed and smelling good (don't usually wear perfume but I am today) so I don't want to waste it. OK, girlie has to go potty. Back later!! LBH 12-21-2008, 01:30 PM Karen, I'm sure you're gone by now, but it's fine up here now. The plow just went down my street a few minutes ago and the road is clear...I see blacktop. I'm sure the main roads are clear. Tracey, My DS hate the homework too. He doesn't want to stop playing to do it. I'm like, come on, you can take 5 minutes to do this sheet! :rolleyes: I put him in homework club at aftercare, so that he could get it over with early, and could sit and watch TV or whatever at home, but he still doesn't always do it.

ESDC's flawed analysis of sidewalk widths highlights risk in privatizing arena planning and oversight
(Based on research by Peter Krashes and Danae Oratowski)
In response to an AYW story showing the effective sidewalk widths on the arena block are going to be narrower than ESDC's 2006 environmental analysis has assessed, the agency's environmental monitor HDR submitted a Technical Memorandum to the Department of Transportation revising effective sidewalk widths and reassessing the sidewalks' level of service.
HDR's Technical Memorandum about the arena block's sidewalks is flawed. It incorrectly applies its own formula for assessing effective sidewalk widths. As a result of that mistake the Technical Memorandum overstates the effective widths of numerous sidewalks on the arena block by several feet. And HDR uses outdated pedestrian numbers from the 2006 FEIS even though the sidewalk conditions being analyzed should be based on the 2009 Modified General Project Plan.
As a result, the level of service calculations (which relate the number of pedestrians anticipated to use a sidewalk in a period of peak use to the sidewalk's capacity) are invalid and should not be accepted.
An area of Fort Greene is now to receive rodent-proof trash cans
Patch reports the area eligible to receive rodent proof trash cans has been expanded into a portion of Fort Greene. This news follows Council Member James' request at the last District Service Cabinet that the distribution area for cans be expanded into Fort Greene as a response to complaints from community members.
Previously distribution was confined to the area from the east side of 4th Avenue to the east side of Vanderbilt Avenue south of the project site. During the last distribution of cans in August, they were available to residents of buildings with 12 units or less. According to Patch 150 trash cans will be distributed as early as this weekend to residents in the vicinity of South Oxford Street.
One filer of an incident report living in Fort Greene at Fulton Street and South Portland Avenue wrote, "We have never had such a severe rat infestation in the 28 years I've been around."
In the meantime, within the area that lidded cans were distributed over the summer residents raised the issue of rodents again at the Carlton Avenue Block Association and the Dean Street Block Association (DSBA) meetings in mid-September.
At the Carlton Avenue meeting it was reported that rats were still seen on Carlton between Dean Street and St. Marks Avenue.
At the DSBA meeting residents reported Dean Street near Carlton Avenue is improved but not rodent free. They reported problems continue on Pacific Street near 6th Avenue with multiple sightings in September from people leaving Newswalk. Problems also continue across the street from the fire station on Dean (the photo of a dead rodent was taken in that location 9/18).
A resident of 6th Avenue between Dean and Bergen Streets says conditions are better, but not resolved.
State and City agencies allow extended hours construction across the entire Atlantic Yards site
Construction hours in New York City generally span the period from 7 am to 6 pm weekdays. One work shift five days a week from 7 am to 3:30 pm is the norm.
Atlantic Yards is different with extended construction hours taking place throughout the project and its vicinity. Even though the developer currently is a leaseholder of a little more than half of the project's prospective 22 acre site, construction still takes place throughout much of the 22 acres. And construction in every location has been allowed by the State and City agencies that oversee the work to extend beyond NYC's normal weekday construction hours.
The map above is indexed to show the locations where permission to conduct work outside of normal construction hours is detailed in the Atlantic Yards Construction Update dated from September 25th to October 9th. The 2006 footprint of the project is highlighted in orange; areas with active construction work are a stronger orange.
2006 environmental analysis underestimates extent of construction noise impacts; affected residents left without recourse
AYW has received numerous incident reports about noise from nighttime work in the vicinity of Pacific Street, 4th and Atlantic Avenues beginning in late July. Similar complaints have also been posted on Brownstoner and made to elected officials. The work involves infrastructure for the Barclays Center, and includes street construction with jackhammering.
After following up with the residents who submitted incident reports, AYW has observed the following:
- Some affected residents live outside the zone identified in the 2006 Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) where significant noise impacts were anticipated. Sensitive receptor locations in the 2006 analysis (locations like residences or open space where human activity may be affected by project generated noise) do not account for more recent conversions from commercial to residential in the vicinity of the project site.
- None of the residents complaining have received notice of the noise attenuation measures offered by Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC).
- The specific noise attenuation measures offered as mitigation (double paned windows and air conditioners) are already in place and residents report they are still kept up at night.
A common complaint in the residents' reports is that their windows are not sufficient to stop the noise caused by the jackhammering, resulting in sleepless nights. The homes of the residents commenting below are labeled on the map above showing the zone significant construction noise impacts were anticipated in the 2006 FEIS (modified from FEIS, figure 17c-2). The anticipated affected area is shaded gray. It is also the zone in which FCRC is required to make noise mitigation measures available to residents.
#1: "I can't sleep. I had a guest leave my apartment at 3am a few weeks ago to stay in a hotel because of the jack hammering...If someone doesn't put a stop to this, I will either have to have my windows soundproofed or move."
"I've been using a window air conditioner to cover the noise so I can get some sleep at night, but I'm concerned about the coming weeks when the weather will surely cool down...As for double paned windows, I believe my building has them already, though cheap and cracked, and they do very little (if nothing at all) to muffle the noise. For the record, no one ever contacted me personally to offer air conditioners or windows." (incident report 326)
A cloud of smoke rises above the arena this morning
A cloud of what appeared to be smoke rose above the arena this morning. The photo above and the time-lapse video below are derived from photography taken from our live camera facing the arena block.
The live camera takes photos every minute. The time stamp on the photos shows the smoke lasting for approximately 15 minutes from 6:46 to 7:00 AM. The images appear to show the cloud moving out of the arena block toward the camera. Air quality is a major concern for the community surrounding the construction site and also presents health hazards for construction workers.
The smoke was first noticed by an Atlantic Yards Watch contributor who was videotaping this morning's truck activity. The incident report filed by that contributor primarily focuses on truck violations, but it also includes video capturing the smoke around the 3:17 mark.
Early morning violations of truck protocols contrast with FCRC statements at Atlantic Yards District Service Cabinet
The protocols for construction trucks described "as significantly improved" yesterday by FCRC's Adam Schwartz at the Atlantic Yards District Service Cabinet are documented being repeatedly violated earlier yesterday morning and today by multiple incident reports filed on this website.
Only hours before Schwartz spoke at Brooklyn Borough Hall, project-related trucks were advancing before the receiving gate was ready, idling, standing in no-standing and no parking zones, ignoring a stop sign, driving the wrong way on a one-way street, and not obeying NYCDOT designated truck routes.
At the District Service Cabinet FCRC's Schwartz stated, "the guard does not release trucks from our site until the gate is ready to receive them." The guard is located at Pacific Street and Carlton Avenue. In following this protocol the trucks enter the project site from Vanderbilt Avenue and line up inside the project footprint on the former Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt Avenues. This is apparently done in the hope of lessening impacts on the residents who live along the stretch of Pacific Street between Carlton and 6th Avenues that would not ordinarily be a truck route.
But this protocol was not followed. Instead, the incident reports document trucks lining up on the public portion of Pacific Street at 6th Avenue as well as on 6th Avenue. Trucks are also shown entering one-way Pacific Street the wrong way from 6th Avenue. Although the camera did not pivot in time to capture it, the filer reports 5 trucks enter from Carlton Avenue. Carlton Avenue is not a truck route. The videos also capture trucks driving north on South Portland Street.
FCRC representative says late night jackhammering is mandated by DOT, and noise can't be muffled
FCRC Community Liaison Brigitte LaBonte has provided more information about nighttime work in roadways.
She details upcoming work on Flatbush Avenue at Dean Street that will take several weeks, and states the traffic mitigation work that is at least partially responsible for complaints about jackhammering will end before the NYC Marathon in early November. The installation of new water mains on Atlantic Avenue will continue until April 2012. Additional mitigation work such as the construction of sidewalks will continue until August 2012. Nighttime use of the staging area associated with infrastructure work in block 1129 will continue through that time.
Some follow up questions have been sent to LaBonte requesting further information about the flexibility of the contractor's timetable for the mitigation work at 4th Avenue and Atlantic, as well as about the possibility of shifting the location of the late night staging area within block 1129 given nighttime disruptions related to it will continue for nearly a year more.
6th Avenue to have fewer travel lanes than analyzed in the 2006 environmental impact statement
The 2006 Atlantic Yards Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) assumed 6th Avenue would be widened between Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues in order to "facilitate traffic circulation at the project site and provide an alternative route for traffic diverted as a result of the closure of 5th Avenue between Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues." (FEIS, 12-65)
However, it has emerged this summer that 6th Avenue from Flatbush to Atlantic will not be widened at the time of the arena opening as described in the FEIS. Instead, not only will there be fewer north-south travel lanes at the time of the arena opening than analyzed in the FEIS, there will actually be fewer north/south travel lanes through the project footprint than existed before the street closures that created it in 2010.
The change will surely affect traffic circulation around the arena block, and congestion in the vicinity of the arena may be increased, because one fewer northbound and one fewer southbound travel lane east of the arena from Pacific Street to Flatbush Avenue will exist than was originally anticipated in the traffic analysis for the project. The 6th Avenue Bridge will also have one less southbound lane. The diagram on the left above shows the four lane version of 6th Avenue in the FEIS (Figure 12-5a). To the right above is the two to three lane 6th Avenue as it is shown in the plans currently before NYC DOT.
Atlantic Yards-related work extends to 24 hours a day, resulting in many reported quality of life impacts
Late night and weekend work hours continue to be expanded at Atlantic Yards. The work in the video above takes place at Atlantic and 4th Avenues on a regular basis late at night and is concluded at 6 am. This video is from September 1st.
Normal construction work hours at the site extend from 7 am to 3:30 pm. Work in the arena is now often 24 hours a day during the week and extends into weekends. As of this weekend, work in the Vanderbilt railyard will take place both Saturdays and Sundays. Truck deliveries for the arena have now been moved forward to as early as 6:00 am. Construction staging on block 1129 is active any time extended hours work takes place elsewhere in the footprint or its vicinity.
The number of workers during extended hours is often significantly less than during normal weekday hours. And according to the Amended Memorandum of Environmental Commitments, "work that generates high noise levels would be scheduled during weekday daytime hours to the extent feasible...unless required by safety or other agency requirements." Now safety and other agency requirements often appear to override community noise concerns.
Lay-by lane capacity at Barclays Center to be less than analyzed in 2006 environmental review; change may increase congestion around arena block
At the time the Sam Schwartz mitigation plan was detailed to the public in June, AYW reported that Barclays Center will have less in place at the time of the arena opening than anticipated in the 2006 FEIS: "fewer travel lanes for traffic, fewer lay-by lanes, and narrower sidewalks for pedestrians."
Thanks to the bollard plans before NYCDOT, it is now possible to see more clearly how this is so in relation to the arena block. In publishing the bollard plans several weeks ago, we wrote about the reduced effective widths of many of the sidewalks around the arena. The state of the lay-by lanes at the time of the arena opening will be similar, with one permanently changed and others with no construction schedule.
The function of lay-by lanes is to take traffic stopped for loading or unloading out of travel lanes. Fewer lay-by lanes mean there is a higher degree of risk for vehicle/vehicle and vehicle/pedestrian conflicts. It also potentially means increased congestion around the arena block.

Search crews will return to Lake Julian Friday at 10am to try and recover the body of a 42-year-old man who went swimming and drowned. Authorities have yet to release the victim's name but explained his three friends who were with him all jumped in to try and save him.
"They're still very shaken," said Ryan Cole with Skyland Fire Department. "This was their friend and they had a hard time not only with the situation but also not being able to get him out."
A crew from Charlotte is bringing a special 3-D sonar tool to try and locate the victim underwater. He was last seen around 3pm struggling to stay above the water but the current in Lake Julian was pulling him under.
"This is one of the reasons why they don't allow swimming in this area because it does have that current in there," said Cole.
The current comes from water discharged by the steam power plant on the lake. Signs or posted that swimming is not allowed. A man who came to the scene said he had spoke with the victim's brother he says is inconsolable. Multiple crews were at the lake Thursday through 8:30pm doing grid searches and diving to try and recover the victim. His friends had jumped in after him, and while Cole says at one point they had him, the current was also pulling them down and they could not bring their friend to safety. This story will be updated.

11 "All the royal officials and the people of the royal provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner courtyard and who has not been summoned-[the] death [penalty]. Only if the king extends the golden scepter will that person live. I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the last 30 days." | 11 "All the king's officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that he be put to death. The only exception to this is for the king to extend the gold scepter to him and spare his life. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king." |
